Christmas Crawl: Hip Holiday-Inspired Hangouts to Catch a Christmas Vibe

Show of hands if you couldn’t wait for Thanksgiving to be over! Don’t get me wrong, I love hanging out with family, but preparing all those fixins’ can definitely take a toll. By the time you actually get to feast you are completely defeated. But not this Thanksgiving…No way. You. Were. A. Badass on Turkey Day!!! You conquered Nana’s coveted cornbread dressing recipe + Auntie’s (gawd awful) green bean casserole 😐 and now it’s time to celebrate with some holiday cheer (and by cheer I mean cocktails, of course). 😉

So today I’m saying tootles to the turkey, see ya next year stuffing, and bye bye buttermilk biscuits (well, those can hang around a tad bit longer), and ‘Hey there’ to holiday sips!!!

Here’s my list of the hippest-happenin-holiday-inspired-hangouts to catch a Christmas vibe in the ATL that I’m sure Yule enjoy! Cheers!!!

Tiki Tango

Gear up for a tropical celebration of all things Christmas and conjure up some holiday magic straight from the islands of Paradise at Tiki Tango’s Holiday Oasis! Soak up all the glitz and kitsch with floor-to-ceiling holiday tchotchkes, twinkling lights, and all your favorite tropical holiday tunes. Add in some festive specialty cocktails, themed tiki mugs, and a limited time tiki Christmas menu. It’s guaranteed to be a whole lot of festive fun!

DATES: Now through all of December

Foxtrot

Tiki Tango’s naughty neighbor, Foxtrot Liquor Bar, is breaking all the rules this holiday season with a Christmas Story themed pop-up! Inspired by the 1980’s holiday classic A Christmas Story, it’s the best bar in Midtown for retro decorations and instagrammable celebrations. Snap a selfie with the legendary Leg Lamp, or pose with the famed Red Ryder BB Gun! Like Ralphie, you’ll become “quite the connoisseur of soap” with our novelty soap-shaped desserts, plus, enjoy handcrafted specialty themed cocktails, and fun menu updates. It’s gonna be the best Christmas ever!
